" 11 ivanndh, May 1, 181 8. bSAR now, for the first time since I have been a prisoner, have had it in my power of informing you of my misei'atale situation. I thought my sufferinzs were great be fore I landed in Mexico : as soon as we landed I found that we were all lust. I then got permission to return house, and was on board of a ship to return to the United States; but, unfortunately fur me, she was captured a few hours before she seas to have sailed. I made my escape to the shore, and went to Mina's fortification, which mounted eight pieces of cannon ; the whole force to defend which amounted to ICO men. Mina enteted tire country with GOO men. The fort ire which I was, was attacked on the 12th of June, 1817 ; there was a cannonading between the Royalists and the Patriots until the 15th, when the Royalists, finding their force so much superior, came within grape and musket shot with eighteen pieces of cannon, and two thousand five hundred men. The fort held out for ten hours.— The Americans in the fort, amounting to thirty, found they had to do all the fighting; the remainder were Spaniards and Frenchmen, who proved cowards, although they declared they would blow up the fort before they would be taken. The Americans, finding they were either to be taken by storm, and put to the sword, or be blown op, thought it best to present themselves—l presented myself, and the fort capitulated. The terms of the capitulation were, that the lines of the garrison should be sent to their respective countries. They have all been held as crimi nals, and loaded . with irons. Those who presented them selves with me had their liberty for ten days —passports were promised them, and assurances given of being sent home; we have, however, been detained as prisoners. I have not, as yet, had any irons ors me. I was sent to a town called Attemudea, where I remained for two months. I lost all my clothing, with the exception of those I had on when I presented myself; I have been nearly naked ever since and covered with vermin. From this 'town I was sent, in com pany with fifteen Officers, likewise prisoners, through the country, nearly to Mexico, and then on to Vera Cruz. The distance I travelled was 300 leagues, the greater part of which was the worst rosd I ever travelled in my life, and over moun tains which took us five and six days to cross. When we got near Mexko, we found a lovely country on to Vera Cruz.—. The road from Mexico to Vera Cruz is the handsomest I ever saw. I remained in Vera Cruz until the sth April, almost starred, and nearly destitute of clothing. My allowance was four ounces of bread per day, with 12 spoons of rice three times a day. " From Vera Cruz I was sent to this place, and since my detention here, have written to several Americans, but never found one that would say—Here is a shirt or a dollar. No; experience has taught me to know, that when a man becomes reduced, there are few that will cast towards him 'a look from which a conclusion might he drawn that the heart felt sym pathy. In a short time I shall be sent to Cadiz, where lam doomed to be detained as a prisoner for ten years. Many are the conic etni es of this place relative to the probability of a war breaking out between Spain.and Americ I wish you to state my ease to your friends at the department, as I persuade my self my Government will be prompt in demanding my libera tion. Such is my misery, that I never could hare believed it within the capacity of man to endure. Mina's expeditiOn is lost. Colonel Young, late of the U.S. Army, and seventy Ameri cans, all of whom were attached to the late United States Army, were taken and shot, with two American officers, the morning after I presented myself. I have had to smuggle this paper, together with the pen and ink, front on board of an American vessel. Yon will give my love to my brothers and sister, and all my friends. Farewell !" ." N.B. The following are the names of some of the officers attached to the late United States Army, who entered in the expedition of Mina, and have,been shot:— Colonel Young ; Captains Cook and Gordon ; Lieutenants L a n a y, Liking, Sntton, Webb, Stone, Sterling, CrocLer, Witmore, Beall. Roberts, and Wilson. Lieut. Win. Psigle, of the U.S. Ordnance Department, was made a prisoner, and died in toy presence at Vera Cruz.— Also a cadet from %V. Point. His name was Haviland. There was another cadet taken, who has been shot, by the name of 'Alacketsun." THE ARMY. (CIRCULML) Ilorse-Cuards, July 20, 1815. Si R,—ln consequence of the representation which has been made to the Commander-in-Chief, of the mortality which oc curred early this year amongst the Sheep, and the consequent scarcity of Mutton, his Royal Highness has been pleased to authorise the Commissary-in-Chief, in making his Contracts for the supply of Meat to the Troops, to engage the Con tractor to deliver Mutton in proportion of one-third only to the Beef delivered. The Contract will therefore be made, until further orders, for one-third of Mutton, arid two-thirds of Beef, which you will please to notify to the Regiment no des your command, and you will be guided by this informa tion in receiving Meat from the Contractor. It is reasonable to suppose, that this arrangement will enable the Commissary-in-Chief to make his Contracts on more advantageous terms, the benefit of w;iich, when the price of the Meat does not exceed sixpence per pound, will, of course, revert to the Soldier.

Strong feeliog, blended with cor rect judgment, marked his entire performance, and he received the wartn applause of a numerous au dience. The great charm of this Gentleman's acting is a total exeutption from all affectation, all clap-traps, all sudden transitions from the solemn to the familiar, by which ignorkint people are cheated Out of applause. Miss E. BLANCHARD performed. the part of Zorayda with delicacy and interest It is a part of a placid nature, that floes not de mand mod) exertion, but it received adepiate justice from this interesting young Loly.—Mrs. CONNOR, a pleasing and elegant Actress, gave good S11111)011 to Floranthe ; nod Mr. Cooir was very easy and humorous in Killmallock. The piece, altogether, was very well received. Several rna:eri I alterations are making in the Covent-Garden Company, preparatory to the re opening of the Theatre, in September next. Six cLAIR has given in his resignation, and the names of Miss S. 13,00rn and Mrs. EGPRTON no longer appear in tie Prompter's list.

Mrs. IL SIDDONS is to conclude her engage ment at York. this evening, by performing Rosa lind, in As You Like It, and Arrianthis, in the Child of Nature. This favourite Actress, once Miss Mvattav of Covent-garden Theatre, it is said, will play the ensuing season at Drury-lane. Aliss STEPHENS is arrived in Dublin, where sLe is engaged to sing for a limited number of nights. She was to make her first appearance, this even ing, in the character of Roscaa. The company, invited to the grand entertain ment given by TALMA to Mr. KEAN, at Paris, was exceedingly numerons, consisting of all the dis , tinguished artists in every line of the drama, Ladies as writ as Gentlemen, at that time in the French 'capital. Barbadoes Papers to the 2d of May state, that the SellliratlliS frigate, Comtnodore Sir JAMES YFo, arrived off the island on the 16111 of Max', from Os coast of Africa. She was expected to sail again on the 28th of the same month, for Ja maica: and thence to England. By the Trinidad Courant, of the 2d May, we regret to learn, that on the preceding day a fire took place in a wooden building in the town of San Fernando, which communicated with such rabidity to other houses of this description, that in less than three hours ntarly the whole of the town was consumed. The loss sustained on this occasion must hare been very considerable; and it appears, that about 200 hogsheads of sugar, which had been placed there fur the purpose of shipping, were destroyed. Yesterday evening, a little after six o'clock, as a Lady and Gentleman were walking round Covent-garden aarket , in search of fruit, just as they reached tl►e corner of the market, next Iti cliardsott's Hotel, where the ruffian mob were accustn►ned to pelt during the Election, the Lady received a violent blow on her month from some hard substance, which immediately afterwards struck-her breast, and fur the moment seemed to deprive her of breath. Although she pointed ant the unmanly wretch who had thus assaulted her, and the Gentleman who accompanied her endea voured to identity hint, the rattble took immediate part with her assailant, and herself and compa= n i o p were obliged to retire amidst the rejoicings of the tui3creiltits.

Sin,---4co object is inure iotetesting to the United States adoption of a judicious system of defence, and the establishment awl construction of such fortifications as may lir found necessary for the security of our maritime and in land frontier. Such a syStem, well executed, may prevent wars, and it cannot fail, should wars become inevitable, to Mitigate their calamities. The attention of Congress has been wisely directed to this great object, and ample funds have been provided for it. It is my duty to exert my utmost efforts togive it effect; atid on thew efforts my country may rely. It is our felicity to lire under a Government capable of se curing to us, hy a wise, honest, and efficient exercise of its powers, all the blessings of which civil society is susceptible. While the movement of the Government, in all its branches, corresponds with the great and sublime principles on which it is founded, no citizen wilt ever have cause to complain that any of his rights have been violated. Happily, this faithful and harmonious movement is placed beyond the reach of dan ger. Deriving all its power from the people, it must be ad ministered for their advantage, while the people continue to be virtuous, well-informed, and attentive to their interest. It is a cause of heartfelt satisfaction to us all, and of grateful acknowledgment to. the Supreme Creator of the world, that the operations of our Government have fully confirmed all the most flattering anticipations that were indulged in its favour. To the support of these great principles my whole life has been devoted. My conduct in many high and important trusts, is known to my country. If it has given me any claim to the confidence of my fellow-citizens, I feel that they have not been unmindful of it. The same principles and zeal, which you have approved in the review which you have .takes► of the past, will continue to animate me in future. For the kind reception which you have given me, in be— half of the citizens of Norfolk, I beg you to tender to then my sincere, thanks, with my best wishes fur their prosperity and welfare. JAMES MONROE. NAVAL FIGHT.—The Mexican schooner, Gene ral Victoria, arrived at Wilmington on the 18th of May, - was attacked by two Spanish brigs and a schooner. In the midst of rapid fit ing, the Gene rid Victoria made a bold attempt to board the Commerdore's brig, when she blew up, carrying, away the bowsprit of.the General Victoria. The other brig ran down to attack, but two well served Long Torus, 'well supplied with grape, caused her, after being disabled, to haul off, and leave his brave Commodore. Having repaired damages, the General Victoria sent boats to save the wrecked Spaniards on board the blown-up Commodore. Next day hired a Dutch fishermau to land them at Curagoa. The sloop Patty and Harriet, of Coldspting, on, her passage from New York, was capsized in a. squall in the Highlands, near Fort Montgomery, on ‘Vednesday night last, and six women and one man were drowned.
